Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

ok, so, to the families thing, there isn't yet anything quite like that, save for a slowly forming branch of various governements that concerns itself with increasing Meta Human activity, and the possible consequences/implications of it, especially for how it will affect the world overall. (such as the formation of a dedicated prison facility and technology that can counter super-powers).

This universe isn't at the very beginning of superheroes as normal, but they're well into transition, still a lot of uncertainty, which is arguably the much more interesting time to operate in.

short answer: No factions exist... Yet

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@samreaper some slight revisions, maybe, for clarity, but otherwise you're ready for the Character Tab.

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

So, I apparently need to make this a rule.

CRITICISM- Please be prepared to hear and consider critique/suggestions, either from myself or your peers. You are allowed to defend your ideas/decisions, all I ask is players be willing to work with me (and their peers, as necessary). I'm willing to overlook or ignore some details; if I was so committed to total and complete realism, I wouldn't be doing superhero stuff.

BUT-

If you are offended by the suggestion of revising a character submission/idea for the game in some way, please just don't waste my time.

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@samreaper Really good first submission, I appreciate the thought that went into his powers and how they work. This world is meant to, at least at first, resemble our own world, including the ways it works; there would be documentation of who he is, and with the resources they have, I doubt his parents would just let him disappear. His motivations are a bit unclear to me, but it seems he wants to tear down the veil, figuratively speaking, and show everyone that the "good guys" aren't necessarily "good" guys? Some "Lex Luthor" vibes, there.

Edit: well, that worked out nicely, and reasonably ^_^

@role model I'd like you to clarify what you mean by "lore". Other than that, there are normal cities we're all familiar with, and there are unique cities, like "Metatropolis".

I'm not sure what you mean by character families, either.

Organizations: do you mean teams like the JLA or the Avengers? something like S.H.I.E.L.D.? you're questions aren't very specific/clear to me, but in general, I do not have this entire universe mapped out and planned already. Some more of this kind of information is going to come out with some example NPC's I'm going to write up and share over the weekend.

I encourage my players to be a part of building this universe, over the course of the game.

Which I actually state in the OP.

If you have ideas that you want to suggest directly, or put forward via your character, I'm totally open to that. If your questions are directly related to building your character and you don't want to give anything away, feel free to pm me.

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@Zuko regarding some specifics on weapons... maybe some claw sai's, and a small number of magically returning shurikens with different magical effects based around the elements of Japanese mythology?

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@Sanguine Rose that is correct; I will allow villains among my players

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@Shard I'm getting "Morlock" vibes from your description. Yeah, totally fine, man. I explicitly allow that sort of thing on the cs

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@PrankFox pm is fine

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

@Crimson Flame

I'm going to say no; I set this as a large group rp, and even with some of the rules I've made, single players with multiple characters will become confusing very quickly.

One Character per player. There can be important npc's connected to the Character (Alfreds, Aunt May's and Mary-Janes, that kind of stuff), but that's it. Sidekicks are out, too, as it's the same as having 2 characters.
